Ok, mates. Listen up and listen well... There's some stuff going on here that HAS to stop before I go mad. The rules will be undergoing some changes but there's other stuff as well. This is going to sound rude and harsh, but I'm too tired to sugarcoat it. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm a nice person, but they will also tell you that once I get frustrated or upset, you'd better duck for cover. So yes, I'm going to sound like a jerk right now, but I think I have to be at this point since no one ever seems to listen to me around here. So here we go, folks.
* STOP asking me to post in things! If it's been at least a week or two since my last post and everyone's waiting on me, ok, but be nice about it and don't make it sound like I'm bringing about the end of the world! If it's only been a few days... or hours... or minutes... DON'T bother me. If I've had a bad day or if I'm just flat out frustrated with something, I won't post in it out of spite. So just leave it alone and trust that I'll get around to it.
* I have a life, despite popular belief. I'm a senior this year! In advanced classes! I've been loaded down with homework ever since the very first day of school! Yesterday, I had virtually no free time whatsoever. If anyone wants to try keeping up with everything going on in a forum with over 100 members, posting in every rpg every day, helping friends with really serious and depressing issues, doing college level homework, and studying textbooks every night, I dare you to go ahead and try it. If I don't respond to a pm right away or post in an rpg or fix a problem... just let me get around to it in my own time. Otherwise, I will explode, leave a bloody mess all over my room, and you guys will find yourselves without an admin.
* Stop posting images in rpgs. It's really annoying and takes up space. We have an image gallery. Use it.
* When you use an image that is NOT your property such as images from movies, video games, art galleries, and other websites, don't claim it's yours! Give credit where credit is due! I don't need any copyright problems here!
* Some of the spelling around here is absolutely revolting. You have a spell check now! Right at the bottom of the posting box! It takes five seconds! Use it! People with tons and tons of spelling errors will NOT make Elite status.
* Punctuation here is bad too. It's not as important as spelling, but I think some people need to put a little more effort into getting it right. I don't expect every post to be perfect every time. But it would be nice to be able to read your post. You know that stuff you learned throughout your entire school career about grammar? Use it.
That concludes today's rant. If you don't like it, keep it to yourself. If you know me and what I've had to deal with at this site and you still think I'm really, truly being unfair, pm me, and we'll talk about it.
